THOUGHTS: [life | living | choices]

Life is all about curve balls, bumps, hills and mountains. Nothing ever goes the way you planned/hoped it would go. some people think that you should plan for the unexpected (don't get me wrong, i agree), But that would mean you wouldn't be able to experience a lot of the things you'd want to do in life today.

personally i think that if you ALWAYS plan for the "what ifs" in life, you're really not living because you'd always be holding back from the things today for something that might or might not happen tomorrow.

If I've learn anything from my brother, it would be that life's too short and to live life to the fullest. If my brother would've held back and always planned for the future he wouldn't have gotten to do all the things he loved and enjoyed in his 28 years of living. And it would've made it harder for me to except his passing if he had lead a un-fulfilling life (in his eyes, not mine). He did everything he enjoyed and everything that made him happy and to a certain extent i think we should all live our lives like he did.

In no way am i saying blow all your money and never save for the future, but with choices you make sometimes you really need to just say "carpi diem" and go with it. Because if you're always holding back, what are you really experiencing in life and how is that a way to live?!

Life is a learning process. There's always going to be curve balls, bumps, hills and mountains that changes your course in life, which are things you can never really plan for. But it's all in how you go about handling situations that arises in front of you. Don't be afraid to live out your life the way you wanna live it. Yes, plan for the future (house, car, the unexpected) but also Be free and enjoy life TODAY!
